Allen on the complaint of Jane and Jenny Anne, attached to Plantation Vrrede Warrendschaft, the property of Dr. John Bryden, in the district of Demerara, British Guiana ; return of the number of apprenticed labourers, distinguishing the sexes, who have been tried before the inferior and superior Criminal Courts of British Guiana for offences committed under the " ordinance of Government for the regulation of apprenticed labourers" in that Colony, specifying the n at ur e of their offences, and the putashments which have been in. Aided ; copy of report made to the Colonial °lnce by Mr, Thomas, late of the Mauritius, relative to the state of the ap prenticed labourers in that Colony, and of the administration of the law in regard to them. Ordered accordingly. Mr. O'CONNELL then moved for the evidence taken before the Select Comrnittre appointed to inquire into the working of the Negro apprenticeship in the Session of 1837. Lord J. RUSSELL had no objection to the motion if the Chairman of the Committee should agree to it ; but that Hon. Member was not arm in his place. Mr. O'CONNELL was understood to say that he was in formed the Hon. Gentleman had no objection. A conversation then ensued on the propriety of printing the evtde.ice taken before a Committee without the sanction of that body, in which Mr. Goulburn, Mr. Baines, Mr. Pryme, the Chancellor of the Exchequer, and Mr. S. O'Brien re spectively took part. Lord J. VT SSELL wished to have the Speaker's opinion on the subject. The SPEAKER said that the case was one of great impor tance, and required to be sufficiently considered. There was no authority to express the opinion of the Committee, and there could be none until it should re-assemble. As regarded the establishment of a precedent the question was, therefore, of a very serious character. Mr. HUME said the case of the Canada Committee was a case in point. After a desultory conversation the motion was agreed to Colonel SIBTHORP postponed his motion relative to a Select Committee to inquire into the various Commissions that have been issued since 1830 to the present time, and begged to know if it were true that the situation of Governor of Ber muda had been tilled by the appointment of an individual (un derstood to be Sir Andrew Leith Hay), and whether that young gentleman had gone out in pursuance of his appointment? Lord JOHN RUSSELL replied (as we understood) that such an appointment had taken place, but in so low a tono that we could not hear further. CURRENCY. Mr. HUME said that, in the present state and prospects of the House---( Laughter)—he thought it better to postpone his motion for a Committee to inquire into the fluctuations in the currency since 1 833, and the causes thereof. He did not like to be counted out in the midst of his speech--( Laughter)—so he would postpone it till the first leisure day. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said that the notice of the Hon. Gentleman appeared to embrace two subjects; the one an inquiry into the Bank of England and Joint-stock and Private Banks, the other an inquiry into the conduct of himself (the Chancellor of the Exchequer). He bad told the Hon. Member that he had no objection to any inquiry into his conduct, but he assured him, and had also in formed the Governor and Company of the Bank of England, that any inquiry into the proceedings and arrangements be tween them and the country was one that he would resist. He hod, however, since understood that the motion of the Hon. Gentleman was not framed with a view to interfere with, or to expose, 'be financial transactions of the country in which the Bank of England had a share, and therefore he felt he might say that he believed the Bank of England would not have any objection to such inquiry. However, he put it to the Hon. Gen tleman that there would not be the slightest practical utility in beginning such an inquiry at this period of the Session. If the motion were renewed at the commencement of the next Session he thought there could be no difficulty in entertaining it. He hoped his Hon. Friend would therefore not merely postpone his motion, as he intended, to a day in the present Session, but let it remain unacted on till the beginning of the ensuing Session. He believed there would be so little differ ence of opinion as to the facts that they might be taken by common consent. As to the causes alluded to, they would of course form matter of opinion and scientific discussion ; but all the practical topics connected with the motion were of so simple and obvious a character, that he thought the inquiry would be fitter for the House to take the discussion on itself than a labour requisite for a Committee to enter on. Mr. PATTISON said that he was happy to assure the House that there was no indisposition on the part of the Bank of Engiznd to meet the inquiry. When the time arose they would be quite prepared to entertain it.—Hear. ) Mr. HUME assured the House that his object was not by any means to violate the Bank Charter, as had been hinted, but to show that a certain system had led to certain results. —(Laughter.) If, therefore, he should be in the House at the beginning of the next Session, he should, on the present un derstanding, call for the Committee of Inquiry into this system. THE BRITISH AUXILIARY LEGION. Captain MATHE W said that, concurring as ha did in the view which the Hon Member for Kilkenny took of " the present state and immediate prospects of the House " (Laughter)—he would follow his example and postpone his motion for an address to her Majesty on the sahject of the claims of the British Legion. HIGHWAYS. Mr. B ARNEBY moved for leave to brim in a Bill to amend the laws relating to highways in England and Wales. Sir GEORGE STRICK LAND thought that it would be impolitic, at the present time, to take the management of the high roads from farmers and to throw them on the unions. The country had been kept in a constant fever by Poor-law agita tion, and now wanted time for repose.—( A laugh.) If the Hon. Member would put off his motion for another year he would then make no objection to it. Mr. RICE said that the best way to avoid thrr,wine- the farmers and Memi - a-s into the fever of agitation on this subject gas to let the Bill be peaceably printed, so that every one might form a just opinion of its provisions before they attempted to discuss it.—Agreed to. The report on the Irish Tithes Bill was brought up by Mr. CHARLES WOOD and ag.eed to. 'The other Orders of the Day were then gone through, and the House adjourned at balf-past eight o'clock. HOUSE OF I,IIRDS. JUNE 12. The LORD CILANCELLOR took his seat on the Woolsack about Five o'clock. OATHS' VALIDITY BILL.

On the motion of Lord DENMAN. their Lordships went into Committee on the Queen's Bench Sittings Bill, to enable the Judges of that Court to hold sittings in banc9 after Term, which was agreed to without amendments. Several Private Bills were advanced astage. IMPRISONMENT FOR DEBT BILL. The Order of the Day for the thi, d leading of the Impri sonmet:t for Debt Bill having been read, The LORD) CHANCELLOR rose and said, that the principle of this Bill was fully considered on the si•cond read tog, but as the:* Lordships had referred it to a Select Com mittee, and that Committee had made some considerable alte rations in it, he thooffht it right to call their Lordship's atten tion to those alteratiowi. Their Lordships would recollect that this Bill originallyca.me from the House of Commons last session, within a few days of the prorogation of Parliament, which prevented the consideration of it by their Lordships at that time. The Bill having had the sanction of the other House, he thought that on introducing it to their Lordships ' during the present session it was best to offer it in the shape in which it had passed the Commons. LI the Bill so presented it was proposed to abolish imprisonment for debt in both stages of a suit,—namely. on mesne process and also in execution. In the Select Committee to which their Lordships referred the Bill, there was very little diffcrencz. , , of opinion as to the propriety of abolishing arrest upon mesne process. But when they came to consider how far it was possible alto gether to abolish imprisonment in execution, very consider able difficulties occurred. He individually was anxious, if possible, to efleet that object ; but on consideration of the reasons urged by the other members of the Committee he became satisfied that the total abolition of imprisonment in execution could not safely be resorted to. He could riot nee how it was possible to insure the due application of all the property which a debtor might possess, of a nature not tangible by any legal process, and which could alone be ob tained by a pressure upon the person, without resorting, in some degree, to imprisonment in execution. Another reason why it was impossible to abolish imprisonment altogether was the necessity of giving effect to the jurisdiction of Courts for the recovery of small debts. The description of persons sued in those Courts excluded the idea of their having property that was capable of being taken in execution. That was so strongly felt that a provision in the original Bill prohibied those Courts front arresting the person in any C:,SC. The Jurisdiction of those Courts, which were most important and beneficial to the public, would, he apprehended, become very iineffectual, and probably would cease altogether, if some means I were not provided by which they could enforce their orders and decisions. It appeared, therefore, to the Select Committee, that it was not consistent with what was due to the creditor altogether to abolish imprisonment in execution. It next be 'ttee to consider by what means ' in point of time, and what in ,o the creditor to resort to that possible cas s; and the Committee ;ill, with a view to attain those great and principal alteration Committee. The Bill, as it of Commons, with a view to anent, by enabling the creditor tsible, out of such property as to make various descrption+3 property, which, as the law now stood, were not liable to be ' taken in execution for debt, subject to that process. Their Lordsl.ips were aware that as against the freehold property of the debtor the creditor had at present the most ineffectual and absurd remedy that could possibly be devised. The creditor, by a writ of eleyit, could take one moiety or half-part of the profits of the estate of the debtor. A second creditor could take another moiety of the remainder, and so the process might go on till the property of the debtor was nearly exhausted ; but it never could be wholly taken from him, because there must re main a fragment in the shape of a half of the property against which the last ant of elegit was issued. This process was not very ineffectual, but led to great litigation, and was by no means calculated to satisfy the demands of the creditor. The proposition in the original Bill was, that the remedy by writ of elegit should extend to the whole of the profits of the estate. To that the Select Committee had added a further provision, which he trusted would not appear to their Lord. ships to be more than what ought to be given to the creditor. It was this—that the judgment having been regularly regis tered, after the expiration of a year from that time the cre ditor should be considered as having an equitable lien on the estate itself, not for the purpose of obliging him to go into the market under unfavourable circumstances, but for the pur pose of enabling him to enforce his equitable lien in the ordi nary way, namely, through the instrumentality of the Court of Chancery. At present the creditor had a remedy only against the profits of the estate, but by giving him an equi table lien on the estate itself he might ultimately obtain the freehold. The interest of the debtor, however, was sufficiently protected, for a whole year after thejudgment had been regis tered would be allowed him, to raise money on his property for the discharge of the debt, if it did not amount to the full value of the estate itself, by which means he might still retain possession of the freehold ; but if the debt did amount to the full value of the estate, then he was sure their Lordships would ad mit that it was right that the creditor should be able to dispose of the property in order to recover his debt. Copyhold pro perty would be made subject to the like provisions as were ap plied to freehold. There were other descriptions of property which were at present free from the operation of a writ of execution for debt. Whatever amount of property the debtor might have in the public funds, or might have invested in shares in Companies of various descriptions (of which there were now so many), the creditor had no means of touching it. The Committee thought that property so circumstanced should not be exempt from the operation of the law for the purpose of enforcing the payment of debts. By the original Bill it was provided that property which stood in the name of the debtor in the public funds should be liable to a Judge's order for the payment of the creditor suing. But that course was obviously open to this difficulty, that possibly the money might not be , long to the debtor in whose name it stood ; he might be a trustee for others. For although it was not usual for money to stand in the name of one trustee, still it was not an impos sible case. To obviate this difficulty, it was by the same Bill proposed that the Judge before whom the application was made should ascertain and certify that the money was the pro perty of the debtor. That, he apprehended, might lead to abuse ; it might lead to property being made liable for a debt which did not belong to the debtor. In order to guard against this abuse it was proposed, in the Select Committee, to give the creditor, upon obtaining judgment and getting it registered, the same equitable lien upon stock, or upon shares in public Companies, and various other descriptions of property, as was proposed to be given with respect to the landed property of the debtor. But there were still other descriptions of property to which the ordinary process of execution did not extend,' such as bank notes, promissory notes, and bills of exchange. With respect to bank-notes there was no diffi culty, because they could be treated by the sheriff as money. But a difficulty would arise in applying that principle to promissory notes and bills of exchange, which might be in possession of the debtor, inasmuch as they could not be made immediately available to satisfy the creditor. In the ori ginal Bill it was proposed that the creditor should have the power given to him of bringing an action upon such bills of exchange or promissory notes, and pay himself out of the proceeds, accounting to his debtor for the surplus. But their Lordships' Committee supposed that this might be sub ject to abuse, by the creditor withholding the surplus after paying himself, and thus becoming in turn the debtor of the original debtor. In order to guard against the possibility of any such abuse, the provision, as it now stood in the Bill, was that the action on such promissory notes or bills of exchange should be brought by the sheriff, and having done so, he should out of the proceeds retain so much as would pay the creditor's demand, and then be accountable to the original owner of those securities for the surplus, if any there were. These various provisions were for the purpose of doing justice to the creditor, by enabling him, if possible, to obtain the pay ment of his debt; but their Lordships would see when he came to state the further provisions of the Bill, that the measure would have other effects most beneficial to the debtor. The provisions he had hitherto described having been introduced for the satisfaction of the creditor, it was the unanimous opinion of the Committee that arrest upon mesne procesa should be abolished. But the creditor having brought his action, and obtained judgment, and all these opportunities be ing afforded for procuring payment of his debt, it was obviously necessary to provide for the event of his not after all being able to find any property belonging to his debtor. This might arise in various cases, and yet the debtor might, notwith standing, possess the means of paying the debt, though his property might not be tan g ible is execution. In such cir cumstances payment could only be attained by pressure upon the person. The debtor, for instance, might possess property in foreign funds, which the Sheriff could not obtain, though the debtor had the means of producing it. Another reason against the total abolition of imprisonment in execution was, that if that were to be the law, it would be im possible to guard against fraud. A party finding his cre clltor pressing upon him for payment, would endeavour to put his property out of his creditors' reach, by placing it in foreign securities ; then, if his person were made entirely free from arrest, the creditor would necessrrily be without remedy. It, therefore, appeared to the Committee that it was impossible to do justice to the creditor, and prevent fraud on the part of the debtor, without giving to the creditor, under the circumstances he had mentioned, the right of seizing the person of the debtor. Their lordships were aware that by an Act, which would, however, expire in the present y ear, a debtor might be released from prison by means of the Insolvent Debtors' Court, on condition of satisfy ing that Court that he had given up all his property, lint for the purpose of paying any particular creditor, but for the pur pose of being divided amongst the creditors at large. What ever might have been said o the provisions of that law, it was obviously now become too much a pert of the law of the land, to permit the law to relapse - into the state in which it was before that Act passed. The state of the law before the L,- solvent Act passed was infinitely worse than it was now. If that Act was exc edingly well administered, as he believed it had been, although it was impossible in all cases to avoid fraud. and although the dividends received and r the Act had been very small, yet their Lordships would not feel that this was the lima to permit the law to relapse into that state in which a debtor, if he once got into prison, whether he could pay q r not, must re main there so long as his creditor chose to keep him. There was, however, one great defect in the present las, which left it open to this greatest of all abuses, namely, that a defendant who had the means of paying his creditors, but whose property is as so circumstanced that then could not get at it, might go to prison and set his creditors at defiant', yet enjoy every in dulgenico which persons being in confinarnent on execution for deist wr re itecescble to. By staying in prison he nrieht live upoa and enjoy his fortune in spite of his creditors. 'Set if he melt disposed to give up his property, he might conic out of prison at any time, because the Insolvent Debtors' Act could only be put into operation upon the appl'cation of the debtor himself. The creditor had nu means of enforcing it. his was obsi nialy unjust towards the creditor. The Committee considered that the creditor should have the opportuuity of pu!ting the Insolvent Debtors' Act in force, as a ell as the debtor. But in giving him this power it would be first ne cessary that he should imprison the debtor. Their Lord ships would perceive by the provision on this head, how far the interests of the debtor wins considered ; but, at the same time, what inducements were held out to the creditor not to enforce the law of' arrest in execution, it' he could obtain pa) rnent without it ? So long as the creditor could find property belonging to the debtor he would have the right of applying that property to the payment of his own individual debt, provided he had not resorted to the law of arrest in exe cution ; but having once imprisoned his debtor then there would be allowed twenty-one days, during which the debtor alone might apply to enforce the provisions of the Insolvent Act; or during that period of time the debtor might, by satis fying the demand of the individual creditor at w hose suit he was arrested, obtain his liberation. Any other creditor might pursue time same operation if he pleasecf, but those alone en gaged in the contest would be the particular creditor and debtor. If, however', after twenty-one days the defendant did not satisfy the debt, or apply for the benefit of the provisions of the Insolvent Debtors' Act, then the creditor would have the power of applying to the Court to pot into operation the provisions of that Act, but the effect of which would be im mediately to vest all the property of the debtor in an assignee, who would hold it not for the benefit of the individual creditor I suing, but for all the creditors of the insolvent debtor g enerally. The Bill had become one of considerable bulk ; but the new portion of it was principally comprehended in the twentieth acetion. The Noble and Learned Lord then recapitulated the provisions of the measure. It abolished arrest for debt on mesne procesa ; but in cases in which it appeared that the debtor was about to leave the country, an application to a judge, satisfying him of the existence of the debt, and of the intention to abscond, the judge we; to have the power of di recting the issue of a warrant for the arrest of the debtor ; and after judgment he was to have the pomser of' compelling the debtor to surrender all his property. Their Lordship's Com rnittee had taken this and all other points connected with the subject into their serious consideration ; and they thought that the adoption of time measure, in its present form, was the most likely way of effecting the desirable objects in view. He, therefore, moved the third reading of the Bill. Lord A iiHB URTON was of opinion thot the Bill had been considerably improved by the amendments which it had received in their Lordships' elect Committee ; and that the country was much indebted to the Noble and Learned Lords who had paid so much attention to the subject, He still, however, maintained (although he had taken the aense of the Committee unsuccessfully on the question) that personal arrest for debt would in some instances be found absolutely necessary. The power of ordering that arrest being no longer in existence, it would in many cases be extremely difficult to get at he property of the debtor. NO in the Bi:chits' c our ts, and i n th e sitiail enorts, the motley due to tine creditor was, in nine cases out of tea, :cargediately forth coming. it appflarod to him to be impossible that rig honest debtor, who was prep red ;0 surrender all his effects, could long remain in prison ; ansi a raogi.cl see no reason, therefor:, for not putting the check of a fear of imprisonment on those who were ready rashly to incur debt, without possep,ipE thr., means of liquidation. They were ready to punish with im prisonment a man who merely stole apocket handkerchief, and they were unwilling to visit with the same punishment a man ho incurred a debt of considerable amount, when he knew he had not the means of paying. It was a good maxim, that misfortune ought not to be punished as if it were guilt; hut there was a great and prevailing delusion with respect to the distinction between misfortune and guilt. Lord BROUG H A M observed that nothing could be more fair and candid than the statements of his Noble Friend who had just sat down; nor could there be better authority on such subjects than that of his Noble Friend, who had been all his life extensively connected with the mercantile world. Nevertheless, this fallacy appeared to run through the whole of his Noble Friend's statements—namely, that a person who wag arrested for debt was alwa', s able to find the means of liquidating that debt, if he chose to do so. Now, that he denied. No part of the subject had been more deeply in vestigated by the Select Committee. But on a comparison of all the reasons on the one side and on the other, they had ult:mately made up their minds to abolish arrest on ntesne process. A man might be falsely arrested on :nestle process, and suffer imprisonment for a considerable time before the injustice of the case was discovered. The strongest practical evidence had been given before the Committee in favour of the abolition. A grocer, whose annual transactions in busi ness amounted to four or five hundred thousand pounds, gave the strongest evidence in favour of the abolition. He entirely agreed with his Noble Friend that the measure was very different from what it was originally. It now con tained 116 clauses. The whole of its machinery was different. It was not liable to the same objections as before it went into the Committee ; and was in fact, infinitely improved. In his opinion, therefore, great praise was due to the Com mittee. To any participation in that praise he was not en titled, for he had been unable to attend ; but a Noble and Learned Friend of his not then present had taken a very ac tive part in the modification of the measure. If the ( Lord brougham) were asked if he was quite satisfied with the Bill as it now stood, he should say no ; there were many little points in which he could see objections. But as affording security to the creditor, and as releasing the debtor from treatment unnecessarily severe, he heartily ap pr ,ved of the Bill, and cordially concurred in the motion for reading it a third time. He was at a loss, however, to understand why it should be confined to England. Ireland laboured under similar evils ; and he could not see why the provisions of the Bill should not be ex tended to that country. It appeared to him to be an anoma lous state of things, after the Union, to allow one part of the empire to remain subject to the hardships of imprisonment, while another part was freed from them. If there was any one part of the Bill from which he expected greater benefit than from any other, it was that it would limit the inclination of shopkeepers to give extensive credit. At present they exhibited the utmost recklessness on that subject. The fact was, that shopkeepers made the customers who did pay them liquidate the debts of the customers who did not pay them. Ile knew a very respectable tradesman who actually showed him by his books how much he was in the habit of adding to his (Lord Brougham's) bills in order to make good the defi cient payment of other customers.—( A laugh.) Whatever deficiencies existed in the Bill might be supplied by subse quent measures. It would much improve the jurisdiction of the Insolvent Court to create in it official assignees, similar to those in the new Court of Bankruptcy, by which 80 per cent. of the property had been recovered from the value of a thousand pounds down wards. The Earl of WICKLOW—As a means of having this law extended to Ireland, he should move a clause, after the third reading, with that view. Lord ABINGER was quite willing to acknowledge that the Bill was now presented in an amended form, but he must be allowed to express considerable doubts as to its giving satisfaction. The creditors, generally speaking, had not pe titioned for it. There might have been some who expressed their opinions on the subject, but he believed there wero few or none at all who had petitioned in favour of this ' Bill. To give his opinion shortly, he should state that credi. tors would not be satisfied with this Bill, because the security for recovering their debts was impaired ; and the debtors would not approve of it, because he had reason to believe that the great body of the persons who had petitioned in fa vour of sonic change with regard to the law of impri sonment for debt wero precisely those persons whom this Bill would affect in such a way as to compel them, very much against what they deemed to be their own interest, to make a surrender of their property to their creditors. By the Lords' Act when a man's debts were not of a larger amount than 3001. he might after a year's imprisonment be brought up before the court, and compelled to make an as signment of all his property under pain of transportation. But when 117 s debt exceeded 3001. he was not liable to have any such proceeding taken against him; and the consequence was that he preferred living many years in prison and enjoying his pro perty to making an assignment of it, or taking advantage of the Insolvent Act. It was obvious that this class which re frained from taking advantage of the Insolvent Debtor's Act roust he opposed to the present Bill for taking their property float them by a summary process. He certainly thought that a great improvement in the law might be effected by diminish ing the power of imprisonment for debt on meme process, and thus advancing the liberty of the subject, while at the same time that which was most essential to the liberty of the subject might he preserved—he meant the security of the creditors against their debtors. As to this country or commerce itself existing without credit, the notion was absurd. He remem bered a Dutch proverb—and the Dutch were a good autho rity on this subject—which said, .• You can bear up against the loss of your friend, or the failure of your banker ; but if you lose your credit you lose everything." As credit ' mast unquestionably be given, he thought the law was best which made the debtor feel that his inteaest coincided with the moral obligation which he laboured under to pay his debts ; and he could not help thinking that the apprehension which a man suffered of the consequences of his net discharging his liabilities had a very considerable influence in inducing the greater part of mankind to meet them. It was well kficrvn that there was a large number of persons in this metroaolis who had no substantial property, and whose incomes were yet sufficient to enable them to support them selves and families in affluence. He alluded to such persons as clerks in Government offices and merchants' clerks. What el . d the creditor gain by his process of execution under this Bill against such persons ? Nothing. It was sail that this law would make the creditor more cautious as to whom he t-usted. nut it was admitted that the shopkeeper was induced to (si ve credit from the competition in his calling ; the greater the danger of bad debts the stronger was the necessity for cnleiging the number of debtors, in order to secure himself se .'inst ultimate loss. He gave his c o nse n t to this Bill with e great doubt. He did not mean to say that some measure was not requisite on the subject, because the incessant agi tation of the question elsewhere called for legislation. lie was not aware that a better measure could be propounded at present, though he had great fears as to any advantage re sulting from it, and he apprehended that it would be soon found not to answer all the purposes even of those most de sisous of passing it. The LORD CHANCELLOR remarked that with regard to the appointment of efficial essgnees referred to by the Noble and Learned Lord ( Lord Brougham) it must be kept in mind tint the property in bankruptcy was generally great, while that in insolvency was of small amount. But there was a clause in the present Bill which enabled the Commissioners to appoint a person similar to the official assignee, who was to have for his service 5 per cent. on tie amount recovered. The Duke of WELLINGTON was understood to pro pose that a clause nhould be inserted giving compensation to !hose who should lose their fees by the operation of this B'll• The Bill was then read a third time, and the House ad journed.

THE DUKE OF VICENZA'S (CAULINCOURT) MLutnas or NAPOLEON.—The revelations of the Duke of Viccnza ex tend over nearly the whole of Napoleon's career, he having been singled out and promoted, very soon after the Consulate. But, if we except some highly amusing and graphic anecdotes of the Court of Russia, the great interest of this book lies in the very clear and unreserved details it presents of the Emperor's conduct under his reverses. To no one did he unburthen himself as he did to Caulincourt. He had been, among his Ministers, almost the only one whom he made his friend. For the Duke of Vicrniza, independent of his great intellectual superiority (which with Napoleon was always the highest recommendation), had also commanded his respect by the free dignity with which he at all times dared to oppose his fixed ideas, and to remonstrate with him, when he saw that either his blind reliance on fortune, or his pride, that could not brook retrogra. dation, was hurrying him into measures dangerous to himself and to France.—Courier . hism Col_s lf loge, th In a letter addressed to Lord Aberdeen, on b e h a lf of the ta i Lt c o e , i o s o f nt,h Doctore Grd Graduate s eism Divinity, t y, Alumni of subscribingK Ch a i rman , complains of her Majesty's Commissioners havin g recom- S e int(cH,::.gG Comm ittee mended " the abrogation of grad uation oaths, b y which the Protestant character of the Colleges is to be d one awa y , and their ho nours made ac cessible to Papis!s, Infidels.
